God, Grisha had troubles even with one Lutz. And they decided he needs to attempt two ones?

Maybe Tarasova should look at her waitline first.

She's never misses the opportunity to make a weight comment. I assume Mozalev took time off to regroup. Tbh, it actually almost worked after his post-Oly shredding, but, I mean, that's Tarasova.

Maybe Tarasova should look at her waitline first.

NGL whenever I hear TAT mentioning someone's weight I think of that scene in The Simpsons where Homer is picking on everyone else's weight and Marge is like: Shut it Homer, you're the fattest one in the car!

And Homer of course is so hurt

Ooo they're giving Fedorov the loooong wait - perhaps they're just trying to work out his song choices too!

Omigod, Yablokov! Go!

Hes gonna feel that 4T in the morning

 

[Pairluv]

Stayin alive is another of those songs you think figure skaters should avoid.

 

[lariko]

Honestly, they should just have wardrobe department like theaters, and skaters pick and chose whatever they want lol. This thought brought on by traditional shirt swap in Butsaeva's group.

 

[Mathematician]

That was awesome. Very fun and energetic in a sincere and wholesome way.

 

[lariko]

He easily wins most entertaining medal.

 

[elektra blue]

get well soon, Ilya i've been missing you

 

[AlexBreeze]

Speaking of skaters who could perform with a lower BV, I think it's Yablokov. He scored a lot last year even with one 4T. But now he's skating a content he's just not capable of.

Oh of course! That's Icecream Ilya in the crazy shirt! Shakes head at self.

I'm so happy to see him back! He's my fave. I do wonder if I should send him an entire box of Chapsticks, those poor lips of his...

 

[Isk]

Very musical first twizzle in the step sequence for Ilia.

 

[lariko]

Am gonna get coffee going...

 

[elektra blue]

Samsonov on fire!

 

[EdgeCall]

Darn.

 

[yume]

Mark's technique is just bad, like I hate watching his jumps

 

[AlexBreeze]

Trivia: Samsonov had only one clean quad in his career before this skate.

FSO is going to explode, though.
